And it always goes out jam-packed (the ERJ from JFK-CLE), from what I hear anyway.
I'm really happy Aeroflot is finally codesharing - this is a lot better than having to interline, and is finally giving SU is a good competitive edge. Does DL fly JFK-ORD anymore? I think SU could put their code on that if they can.

Quoting Ahlfors (Reply 3):If you look at the official document again, it looks like it's Aeroflot's SU code flights are IAH/CLE to JFK/YYZ/IAD.

I didn't read the CO bid, but i did read the NW bid, which was filed before CO's so I don't know what will happen, but I'm sure Russia will let it happen since it makes SU more competitive and let's it grow into potential new markets. It will be interesting to see the SU flight number on NW boards in DTW.

In an aeroflot press release, found on their website, they write about 40 years of service between the US and USSR/Russia. At the end of this press release, they announced that they are in skyteam and that have signed mutual agreements with Delta, Continental and Northwest. This just further proves their commitment to the US in the near future. If they got the three B767's they wanted, I wonder how they would use them?
